Abstract: The increasing popularity of optical fiber communication networks has created a demand for the calibration of optical test equipment. Three relatively new standards have been generated by the IEC for calibrating optical test instruments. IEC 61315 discusses calibration of the Power Meters (PM) IEC 62129 covers Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSA) and IEC 61746 covers Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR). PMs, OSAs, and OTDRs dominate the optical fiber test instrument area. Using information from the IEC standards, this paper looks at methods for calibrating OSAs and OTDRs, looks at sources of uncertainty, and discusses the devices used in their calibration. The paper will discuss common equipment that every calibration lab should have.
